Privacy policy

The protection of personal data is an important concern for us. Therefore, the processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the applicable European and national legislation.

You can, of course, revoke your declaration(s) of consent at any time with effect for the future. For this purpose, please contact the responsible person according to § 1.

The following declaration provides an overview of the type of data collected, how this data is used and passed on, what security measures we take to protect your data and how you can obtain information about the information given to us.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) S. lit. b) DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

If processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 (1) S. 1 lit. c) DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 (1) S.1 lit. f) DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may take place beyond this if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which we are subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

§ 2 Definitions

The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator in the adoption of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as: "DSGVO"). The data protection declaration is intended to be easy to read and understand. To ensure this, the most important terms are explained below:

(a) Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.

c) Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organization, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Profiling means any type of automated processing of personal data that consists of using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to that natural person's job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or change of location.

e) Pseudonymization means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

f) Controller or controller means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for under Union or Member State law.

(g) Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

h) Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party.

(i) Third party means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor, are authorized to process the personal data.

j) Consent shall mean any indication of will given voluntarily by the data subject for the specific case in an informed manner and unambiguously in the form of a statement or any other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject indicates that he or she consents to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

§ 3 Provision of the website and creation of log files

(1) During the mere informational use of the website, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we automatically collect the following data and information from the computer system of the calling computer each time the website is called up:

a) The IP address of the user

b) Information about the type of browser and the version used

c) The operating system of the user

d) The user's Internet service provider

e) Date and time of access

f) Websites from which the user's system accesses the Internet site

g) Websites that are accessed by the user's system via our Internet site

h) Content of the calls (specific pages)

i) Amount of data transferred in each case

j) Language and version of the browser software

k) Search engines used

l) Names of downloaded files

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

(2) The legal basis for the temporary storage of the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 p. lit. f) DSGVO.

(3) The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary in order to

a) enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.

b) to optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising for it

c) to ensure the functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website

d) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) DSGVO.

(4) The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected - in this case, at the end of the usage process.

In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses are deleted or anonymized, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

(5) The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website, which is why there is no possibility to object. § 4 Use of cookies

(1) This website uses so-called cookies. Cookies are small text files that, as soon as you visit a website, are sent to your browser by a web server and stored locally on your end device (PC, notebook, tablet, smartphone, etc.) and are stored on your computer and provide the user (i.e. us) with certain information. Cookies are used to make the website more customer-friendly and secure, and in particular to collect usage-related information, such as frequency of use and number of users of the pages and behavioral patterns of page use. Cookies do not harm the computer and do not contain viruses.

This cookie contains a characteristic character string (so-called cookie ID), which enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.

(2) We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change. The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies:

- Language settings

We also use cookies on our website that enable an analysis of your surfing behavior. In this way, the following data can be transmitted:

- Frequency of page views

- Use of website functions

The data collected in this way is pseudonymized by technical precautions. Therefore, it is no longer possible to assign the data to the calling user. The data is not stored together with other personal data. When you call up our website, you will be informed by an information banner about the use of cookies for analysis purposes and referred to this data protection declaration. In this context, there is also an indication of how the storage of cookies can be prevented in the browser settings.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) DSGVO.

(3) The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for you. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change.

We require cookies for the following applications:

- Acceptance of language settings

- Status of popups (e.g. panel & teaser)

The user data collected through technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.

The purpose of using technically unnecessary cookies is to improve the quality of our website and its content. Through the analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and can thus constantly optimize our offer. This information is used to automatically recognize you when you visit the website again with the same terminal device and to make navigation easier for you. These purposes are also our legitimate interest in processing the personal data according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

(4) Cookies remain stored even if the browser session is terminated and can be accessed again when you visit the site again. However, cookies are stored on your computer and transmitted from it to our site. Therefore, you also have full control over the use of cookies. If you do not wish data to be collected via cookies, you can set your browser via the menu under "Settings" so that you are informed about the setting of cookies or generally exclude the setting of cookies or also delete cookies individually. It should be noted, however, that the functionality of this website may be limited if cookies are deactivated.

(2) In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

(3) The right to data portability shall not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

(4) To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact the controller.

(7) Right of objection

(1) You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) DSGVO; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

(2) The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.

(3) If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to processing of the personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

(5) To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact the controller directly.

(9) Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law.

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. For this purpose, you can contact the controller.

10 Automated decision in individual cases including profiling.

(1) You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects vis-à-vis you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

a) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,

b) is permissible on the basis of legal provisions of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and these legal provisions contain appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or

(c) is made with your express consent.

(2) However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) of the GDPR applies and

appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

(3) With regard to the cases mentioned in (1) and (3), the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, which include at least the right to obtain the intervention of a data subject on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

(4) If the data subject wishes to exercise rights concerning automated decisions, he or she may, at any time, contact the controller.

(11) Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.
